What are those strange words and noises in the beginning of “A Few Words for the Dead”?
The words are in some Native American language, the name of which i have sadly forgotten. They are believed to be spoken by Douglas Spotted Eagle. The sound of rain is — rain. It was recorded outside the Racket studio. The sound of a croud cheering is from an accidential over-recording from an old Marillion show, now sadly erased during the making of A few words. Can’t remember which song it was… but it may have been Freaks or King of Sunset Town.
